[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 34878"] Your best straight pressed Virginia is Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake. Others will chime in with this one and that one, but FVF is the industry standard for maximum quality with minimal processing and added flavorings. Your best, industry standard straight Virginia is SG Best Brown Flake. (NOT Gawith Hoggarth's version). Again, there are a lot of others, but many of these depend on additional processings and flavorings that move them off-center from straight Virginia by itself. All Burlies are pretty heavily"cased" (flavored) to make them tasty. So which one you like is largely a matter of which flavoring(s) appeal to you. VaPers are Virginias plus Perique. One excellent example in this genre is GL Pease' Fillmore. Escudo is heavier duty stuff, and there are any number of others. Perique, by itself, is just about un-smokable. It's a "condimental," like black pepper in cooking. "English" tobaccos (and "Balkans") are comprised of several varieties of tobacco blended together. Oriental tobaccos are numerous, and rarely (if ever) smoked straight. :face: [/QUOTE]
